Fribourg LegalTech Neur.on partners with European leader Legal 230

Neur.on, the LegalTech behind Corrext, an AI-assisted legal and financial translation platform, has joined forces with Legal 230, Europe’s leading pure-player in human legal translation, dedicated to legal and finance professionals. The combination gives Corrext’s clients access to Legal 230’s network of more than 1,500 specialized translators and its presence in several European capitals, including Paris, London, Brussels and Luxembourg, while preserving Neur.on’s Swiss anchoring and guarantees.

Neur.on grew out of an applied research project with the School of Engineering and Architecture of Fribourg (HEIA-FR) as a spin-off of a linguistic services provider. Its Corrext platform is now used by leading Swiss law firms, financial institutions, legal publishers, corporate legal departments, and cantonal and federal authorities.

For Swiss law firms, banks and authorities handling highly sensitive information, data sovereignty was central to the deal. Neur.on’s data remains hosted in Switzerland and subject to Swiss law, outside the reach of the US CLOUD Act, and managed under ISO 27001-certified processes compatible with attorney-client privilege and banking secrecy, in line with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, the GDPR, and the duties set by the LLCA and FINMA. Neur.on keeps its Swiss legal structure and its team in Fribourg.

The move follows Neur.on’s transfer, a few months earlier, of its natural language processing team to Germany’s Noxtua. Founder Paula Reichenberg, a qualified Zurich attorney and vice-president of the Swiss LegalTech Association, becomes Chair of the Board, while Fabien Bernier, CEO of Legal 230, also takes over as CEO of Neur.on. Together, the two companies aim to combine AI-assisted translation for routine documents with human expertise for complex or high-stakes legal and financial files across Europe.
